Hi Sara! Glad you’re here! @swichard #moedchat

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A1 Everything they do in our learning space is designed by them. #moedchat

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A1 Student advisory teams. And we pick Ss from underrepresented groups. Move beyond the stuco and honor roll kids. #moedchat

melissahellwig4 Oct 27 @ 10:10 PM EDT

I love this, reaching outside the classroom/school walls lends to authentic learning for students. #moedchat https://t.co/g9ofwHMcvB

AustinELA8 Oct 27 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@LibrarianEvans I agree we have alternative seating but sometimes a S prefers a traditional seat. They can choose #moedchat

GeoJo22 Oct 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Calling it a night. Thank you for a great conversation. #moedchat

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@awall777 Reflection should be mandatory in real learning. It's about the process, not the product. #moedchat

AnIowaTeacher Oct 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@DavidGeurin Exactly! We go forward together! :) #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Process over Product, my man! #moedchat https://t.co/3gUrwjNdMx

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT

@awall777 Reflection should be mandatory in real learning. It's about the process, not the product. #moedchat

LibrarianEvans Oct 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT

A5: One-on-One conferencing. Gives me the opportunity to help students with individual issues in their writing #moedchat

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT

A4b New measurements of learning 1. Is the learner happy? 2. Have they lost track of time while learning? #moedchat

AveryHoneyBees Oct 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@BusEd11 @DavidGeurin @joshchoward it's saves time for us, gives the Ss confidence in their abilities & keeps the ball rolling #MOedchat

cyberteacher Oct 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT

@melissahellwig4 @CoachRaimondo A highlight of our METC Academies is a mini-edcamp embedded within the day...20 minute rotations. #MOedchat

MrsGarwitz Oct 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT

A4 pt 2: it talks about the power of an authentic audience evaluating Ss, rather than just Ts #moedchat https://t.co/MvkCDnq3sW

MrsGarwitz Oct 27 @ 10:40 PM EDT

A4: #mostlikelytosucceed film made me think A LOT about how we evaluate Ss. Highly recommend watching it. #MLTSfilm #moedchat

MsLaurenMertz Oct 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT

A5: During reader's workshop the Ss work on their own goals #moedchat https://t.co/UsiG2EphPu

MOedchat Oct 27 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Q5 What’s one way you personalize learning? #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT

A5 Creation Station let's Ss pick their own course and learn natural #designthinking #moedchat

debbiefuco - Moderator Oct 27 @ 10:42 PM EDT

Agree! #moedchat https://t.co/g9TZ21SYw6

itechbob Oct 27 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A2 - you can learn a ton about the culture of a classroom by its physical setup. Immediately you see S centered or T centered #moedchat

dk_finley Oct 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT

A5: this brings us back to choice-students don't get grades on essays until they are ready--after feedback and conferencing w/me #moedchat

TeachMrR Oct 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT

Giving a "menu" of options that allow students to pick their strengths and interests. Demonstrate their understanding their way. #moedchat

TedHiff - Moderator Oct 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT

So important to remember! #moedchat https://t.co/aBmmMzb81d

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:43 PM EDT

A5 It starts by creating a positive culture of trust and mutual respect. #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@dk_finley give them every chance to succeed #moedchat

MrsMurphy_WGSD Oct 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A4b Highlighting areas of growth, finding standards that are addressed within a project or the process that they went through #moedchat

AveryHoneyBees Oct 27 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A5 meeting Ss where they are and helping them set goals based on themselves alone! How can you beat your best? #moedchat

jleeTechPercent Oct 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT

A5- The logbooks helped with this. Met with Ss to discuss Assessment results & skills to work on. #moedchat

melissahellwig4 Oct 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@TedHiff I always love this one too! #everyonehasagenius #moedchat https://t.co/fmnWtAyW2a

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT

A5 You set the tone the 1st day. Are you listing rules? Reading a syllabus? OR Are you getting to know each other? #moedchat

MrsGarwitz Oct 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT

A5: what's best for one learner, might not be best for another learner. #moedchat

AnIowaTeacher Oct 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT

A5: I love to see my students choosing their way writing and reading. Makes them more accountable for their own learning! :) #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT

All about relationships, right @TedHiff #moedchat https://t.co/k8i3nnDkvY

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT

A5 You set the tone the 1st day. Are you listing rules? Reading a syllabus? OR Are you getting to know each other? #moedchat

melissahellwig4 Oct 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT

Relationships have to come first because amazing learning will come from Ss when they trust you. #moedchat https://t.co/RyFYNVpiZq

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:45 PM EDT

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5 Love the Continuum of Choice #moedchat https://t.co/IcC9jW3jGD

cyberteacher Oct 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5 put their name on it ~ LOL Personalized learning involves CHOICE...Ss & Ts are engaged when they can choose what/how they learn #MOedchat

swichard Oct 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5: Ss creat their own goals and develop a plan on how to get there #moedchat

MrsMurphy_WGSD Oct 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5 Student choice and voice in project selection, giving students the ability to change the set up of the room, 1-on-1 conferring #moedchat

dk_finley Oct 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@AnIowaTeacher and the work they produce is better. #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@dk_finley That is how it should be, traditional "learn when I teach" is unfair and unrealistic #moedchat

MrsGarwitz Oct 27 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5: I know I learn more when I get to choose what I want to learn about - true for us, true for them! #moedchat

Scott_Kovis Oct 27 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5-Individualized formative feedback during the learning, not after.. #moedchat

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@joshchoward I'd change the word "design" to currate. #moedchat

itechbob Oct 27 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@BusEd11 @debbiefuco I think it is all about being selective. Every space in a classroom does not need to be covered. #moedchat

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5 Create a culture of facilitation...once you convince Ss you aren't the smartest in the room, they'll seek their own answers. #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@TheTechSpec @joshchoward oooh! That's good! #moedchat

MrPitlyk Oct 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5 Ss work and learn through their passions. It is my job to find standards that I can pull in to what they are doing. #moedchat

dk_finley Oct 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@awall777 and makes the product or the assignment the focus and not the learning. When the learning is the point/goal #moedchat

cyberteacher Oct 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT

Good one! #MOedchat #METC Love me some doodling from @sylviaduckworth too! https://t.co/vvpIwRZNZM

melissahellwig4 Oct 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT

This was my favorite part about teaching. We were ALL learners. #leveltheplayingfield #moedchat https://t.co/PX77B6Vubu

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5 Create a culture of facilitation...once you convince Ss you aren't the smartest in the room, they'll seek their own answers. #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@dk_finley Compliance, not learning :) #moedchat

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@TheTechSpec Whatever the verb is, as long as the students are in charge of it! #moedchat

debbiefuco - Moderator Oct 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT

Tonight’s #moedchat demonstrates that there are some very thoughtful educators who care deeply about their practice & students. #proud

AnIowaTeacher Oct 27 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@dk_finley Amen to that one! :) #moedchat

MOedchat Oct 27 @ 10:50 PM EDT

Q6 In what ways can we create opportunities for our learners to explore/investigate beyond us? #moedchat

MrPitlyk Oct 27 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A5. Meet Ss where they are.No reason to drag a kid through current grade level if they don't have the background to understand it. #moedchat

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A6 By never giving them the answer, and when they discover it, be ready with another question. #moedchat

SideJobs4Tchers Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Students need to learn how to reach for Plan A, and divert to Plan B-Z when plans fail. #moedchat

shaughnessyjen1 Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A6 Innovation Hour! Kids pick their passion and go with it! #moedchat

MrsGarwitz Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@BusEd11 Yes, PD is very important to make this happen. We can also teach each other! #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A6 if they are passionate about what they are learning, wouldn't it extend at home if we give them skills to learn alone? #moedchat

debbiefuco - Moderator Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Not a fan of faded and tattered posters. @itechbob @BusEd11 #moedchat

jleeTechPercent Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@MicheleCMueller no penalty for not doing any, but used their log during conferences to discuss how practice generates growth! #moedchat

LibrarianEvans Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A6: Again, all I talk about is writing, but show students process of submitting work for publishing. That opens up whole new world #moedchat

TeachMrR Oct 27 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A6 - Open ended questions that allow Ss to still converse outside of the classroom, especially with parents or peers. #moedchat

itechbob Oct 27 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A6 - provide opportunities for independent learning. This is a skill that they will need when entering the work force. #lifeskill #moedchat

AveryHoneyBees Oct 27 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A6 listen to what they are excited about! Pause learning so they can share what excites them! Let them share what they create! #moedchat

PrincipalCroley Oct 27 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A6: as a leader, I need to provide this for Ts and then let them discover how to provide this for Ss ... and I'm looking for ideas #moedchat

AveryHoneyBees Oct 27 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A6 Allow them to be seen, heard and validated! They will take what they learn with us and continue at home! Be excited with them! #moedchat

dk_finley Oct 27 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@awall777 so hard to break that cycle of compliance-I teach seniors & it's a battle to get them to seek out learning #moedchat

MrsGarwitz Oct 27 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A6a: let them know that Ts aren't the "end all be all." Ss can be Ts for one another! #moedchat

MrPitlyk Oct 27 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A6 I had to come to grips with the fact that I don't know it all. Use your community, so many experts out there who want to help #moedchat

MrsGarwitz Oct 27 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A6b: show them that learning doesn't just happen within the 4 walls of their classroom #moedchat

debbiefuco - Moderator Oct 27 @ 10:54 PM EDT

I’d love to hear more about student edcamps. @melissahellwig4 @CoachRaimondo #moedchat

MrsMurphy_WGSD Oct 27 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A6 I find that when we open up classrooms to student choice it naturally leads to moving beyond our walls- they WANT to know more #moedchat

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@PrincipalCroley Sounds like an edcamp's a-brewin'! #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@dk_finley currently working on breaking it at my school :) #moedchat

TeachMrR Oct 27 @ 10:55 PM EDT

A6B - Giving opportunities to explore outside of the classroom is also key. A good fieldtrip opens a lot of doors! #moedchat

itechbob Oct 27 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@dk_finley @awall777 We do students harm when they just play the "game of school". This doesn't prepare them for the real world. #moedchat

debbiefuco - Moderator Oct 27 @ 10:55 PM EDT

I’m in the @manuelherrera33 fan club, too! #moedchat https://t.co/D640rKPpz9

  A2 - This question was made with @manuelherrera33 in mind! Flexible seating is key! Allow Ss the flex to learn their way. #moedchat

melissahellwig4 Oct 27 @ 10:55 PM EDT

Love to talk about w/ you. @dayankee & I started them w/ our team & @CoachRaimondo does them too. #moedchat https://t.co/kUGJ7UW0Cz

I’d love to hear more about student edcamps. @melissahellwig4 @CoachRaimondo #moedchat

dk_finley Oct 27 @ 10:55 PM EDT

A6: we have to turn over the classroom and the learning to them. If we are talking-they aren't learning. Encourage inquiry. #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@itechbob @dk_finley agreed as DMX says "Its not a game!" #rapreference #moedchat

joshchoward Oct 27 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@melissahellwig4 @manuelherrera33 Can I be in the cool club if I say I like @manuelherrera33 too? He really is quite a guy! #moedchat

MrsGarwitz Oct 27 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@awall777 Yes! Life long learners -- not just Ss who answer questions for Ts during school hours. We need Ss to stay curious. #moedchat

debbiefuco - Moderator Oct 27 @ 10:56 PM EDT

Love this idea! Do you have an example? @BusEd11 @itechbob #moedchat

TedHiff - Moderator Oct 27 @ 10:56 PM EDT

Thank you tonight #moedchat, I appreciate your passions and your efforts to do all you can for the betterment to all students! :)

TheTechSpec Oct 27 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A6 Take them to community. See if they discover a problem, then encourage them to solve it. #moedchat

awall777 Oct 27 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@itechbob @dk_finley that quote was censored by the way #moedchat

@melissahellwig4 I also like fail - frequent attempts at learning because sometimes you just need to keep failing before success #moedchat
